Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book questions the limitations imposed on the lives of unmarried women in the 1860s, a time when it was assumed spinsters were lonely and without purpose. The author decries the melancholy and despondency too often associated with these women, suggesting that they deserve sympathy less for their single status and more for their lack of adequate income and companionship. While recognizing that many women of this time do indeed lead solitary lives, often in poverty, the author argues that this is more a result of economic circumstances than their single state, and certainly no reason for society to pity these women as a class. The author presents a different view of spinsterhood, highlighting the many ways single women can lead rich and fulfilling lives, whether through gainful employment or their contributions to social causes. This book offers a powerful and ultimately optimistic exploration of women's roles in society, particularly the idea that single women need not live lives of quiet desperation.
